They're fractionally equal. The Alliance character amount seems to be proportionately equal to the amount of female-gender characters, whereas the Horde character amount seems to be proportionately equal to the amount of male-gender characters.

This is such a backwards comparison. You need to look at how many girls vs guys play alliance without the horde population included. Once you include horde it ruins it. All this proves is more guys than girls play wow.

I don't get it either. When I read these charts I see that there are more horde overall and more male toons overall. These specific charts don't appear break down how many male vs. female there are on each faction. Unless you're just joking that the Alliance wedge appears to match the Female wedge in size and shape?

I don't get it...is this a stab at Alliance players? Female toons? Or does it show female GAMERS?

WoW without flying is like having a pizza you know that you enjoy but then have someone treating you like a moron and telling you that "No, you won't enjoy THESE particular toppings for reasons WE made up". And some people are dumb enough to accept being told what to like.
